It sounds like your boys had a couple of wonderful adventures. The part that excited Mr Three the most was holding his own flashlight. The thrill has abated over the years but I can absolutely understand that ^___^ It's so lovely that Mr Five and Mr Three are still at the stage where everything is new and exciting. (I can remember taking my nephews on a small field trip down the road to look at some secondhand AA vans at the local car dealership ^___^ My older nephew went through a brief obsession with the AA (Automobile Association) - we'd play at cars breaking down and then he'd turn up in his van and check the vehicle over. But I digress ^_^)

I love your photographs. It is a shame you didn't get to see the spotted salamanders this time but how interesting to spot a new kind of behaviour.
